All New How to make a Windows 8 startup message

Here’s how to create a custom screen message before entering Windows.

VB Scripting 

Go to the folder below

C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Create a text file with extension .vbs e.g. msg.vbs

Once created, open the file in notepad and write the following command: msg “your message”

msg “Hi, don’t forget all the things that you need to submit…”

Restart your computer to see the results…

That’s it!

Using Windows Registry 

Open your registry editor by pressing Win+R and type “regedit”.

Once the editor is open, go to the following folder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

Find the two registry names or create them by using New –> String Value Menu at any vacant space of the tool.

LegalNoticeCaption

This is where the Title or Caption of the message located upon entering the Welcome Screen e.g. Disclaimer Notice

LegalNoticeText

This is where your message is being inputted.

Using a tweakui tool 

WinBubbles-lite is a small program to access windows 7 and above customizations. You’ll be able to apply the tweak easily by entering the caption and message then afterwards press Alt-A. To see the results, see your message by clicking the View Button.
